Thread: Tip for newbies, given for anybody else

This is a a duh for anyone who's shaved for more than a month to from one new shaver to a next here it is. I found out today that a thick lather is much better at shaving than a thin watery one.
The first few times I've shaved I've dunked my whole brush in water and moved it straight into the soap dish putting a ton of water in it. When I worked up a lather I got a lot of bubbles and the lather would drip off my face since it had a similar consistency to a bubble beard.
Today I decided to squeeze my brush to get rid of a lot of the water and when I lathered up I got a lot less lather but it stayed on my face and was very thick. When I shaved it was much more comfortable and I got way less razor burn. As an added bonus the lather didn't drip anywhere.
